Context of Lamentations 5:11
9We meet danger when we work in the fields. Enemies are everywhere and they want to kill us. 10Our skin feels as if we are burning. We are so hungry that we are ill. Enemies do what they want with the women in Zion. They are cruel to the young women in Judah's cities. 12They hang our leaders by their hands. And they are cruel to our old men too. 13They took the young men to make flour for them, like slaves. Our boys have to carry heavy bags of wood.
